Here’s an early contender for the most coveted high heel of 2014, and there’s no surprise that it comes from Christian Louboutin. Meet the Youpi peep toe stiletto with 4.5 inch self-covered heel, which is now available online at Saks for $625. In a pretty sure sign of things to come, some sizes have…

We’ve often covered Christian Louboutin’s iconic Pigalle pump on this website. The low-cut high-heeled pump is a classic, so much so that in 2010 Louboutin described it as “the design that encapsulates my career.” The shoe has long been available in its original form of black with a red sole, and that version retails for…

Red sole maestro Christian Louboutin’s Fall / Winter 2013 collection is now available for purchase on the designer’s website. As usual there’s a mix of new heels and new takes on favourite shapes, with shoes ranging from classical to downright bizarre. My pick of the bunch are the Iriza d’Orsay pumps in leopard printed pony.…

When I saw these new slingbacks from Christian Louboutin, one thing came immediately to mind: toe cleavage! Nobody does toe cleavage like Louboutin, and these high heels reveal just about as much of it as any of the Master’s shoes. Not that Christian Louboutin doesn’t know what he’s doing and why.

Newly-single Katie Holmes has celebrated her break-up with Tom Cruise by splashing out on 15 pairs of brand new Christian Louboutin high heels, according to a report in the National Enquirer this week. A source has disclosed that the glamorous actress “went on a tear” at Barneys, purchasing a closet full of suits and dressses at…

Christian Louboutin has lost another legal battle to protect his famous red soled shoes from so-called imitators. This month the Cour de Cassation, France’s final Court of Appeal, dismissed the designer’s appeal against an earlier decision in favour of Spanish retailer Zara. The drama began back in 2008 when Louboutin sued Zara for “counterfeiting and…

Christian Louboutin’s shoes may not be known for their comfort or practicality – in fact earlier this year Louboutin famously declared he hated comfort – but the designer may have gotten the combination just right with this new leopard-look bootie from his fall and winter 2012 collection. Unlike some of his more towering stilettos, the…
